BOOK RKMTBW .'IT CIVIC CLITB THIS .AFTERNOON The Moore County Tuberculosis Committee's annml cu.=tom or rnis. inp >n<’ro money each year than it did the previous year continues in loi'ce.

The Pinehurst school, Mr. Tilley, chaitTiian, raised $13S, anil Mrs. E. A. West, chairman for the Hemp school, reported $97.52. One of the most gratifying things about this year's Seal Sale was the fact that contributions came from a greater number of places in the county than ever before. Another, the splendid work of the colored people. In several towns they raised more money thar the whites. A number of colored schools did better than the white schools in the same towns.
